Welcome to the forums, MountainMan.
One of the most unfortunate lies we are often told in our youth is that we can be or achieve absolutely anything as long as we believe and work hard enough.
That simply is not the truth.
The general encouragement is good, but the hard truth is:
If you’re colorblind, you can’t be a military pilot,
If you’re 4’ 8”, you’ll never be an NBA player,
That list goes on and on, but the point I’m getting at is that there is a clear and distinct inverse relationship between our age and our swinging opportunities. It’s just a fact of life.
Best of luck though, and always remember, fortune favors the brave.
